We need to provide proof of WC in order to get a license to work in some jurisdictions that feel they need to enforce oversight on private contracts.
You likely need to provide the waiver of self-employed, unless you carry comp on yerself. PIA, they're from the govt and they're here to help you. One of our PA legislators, taking a break from listening to $15,000 13D water supply propaganda, is considering a PA Sprinkler Contractor's License. I wrote her that IF this replaced all the stupid nuisance permits we need to secure in numerous jurisdictions ($50 to $200/year for the privilege of being ready to do a job in their jurisdiction if it arises, scramble for it if you didn't renew), but otherwise keep your hand outa my pocket.
